Creative Writing:

Dear Juliet,

Yesterday night was one that I will never forget. It was one of the best moments of my life. But afterwards, I thought about all the obstacles we would encounter if we still kept this relationship.

It will be very difficult for us to remain peacefully together after all; we are from two different families that hate each other very much. I believe that sooner or later, something horrible will happen and it will become even more difficult for use to meet. If we were to continue this, you and I would face many difficult hardships, for example, keeping the peace between our two families, so that we can be together.

Juliet, you will always be the only one that i will love, the only one angel that i have seen in my life. But I have put a lot of thought into this matter and I believe that we should not pursue our relationship any further, because it would put both of us at risk.

Yours truly,

Romeo.
